Failure to give annual leave.

7.—If an employer, in the case of an employee whom he continues to employ upon the expiration of the period during which annual leave should have been given, has not given the leave—

(a) the employer shall be guilty of an offence,

(b) the employer shall (whether proceedings have or have not been taken for the offence) give to the employee, in addition to any pay due, a sum equivalent to the pay that would have been paid to him for the leave if it had been given so as to end on the expiration of the period during which it should have been given.
